Great Inventions...
For me, the biro and the bicycle, go down as some of the greatest inventions of all-time, no doubt you’ll have your own favourites.
Time Magazine have just released their list of the 50 best inventions of 2008. It got me thinking what could be in the list. The much discussed Large Hadron Collider (or Atom-Smasher, as I prefer) is in there at number five. Crikey, what could be better than that?!
Some of the top 50 seems a little odd – a website serving live television? Is there some confusion between invention and innovation?
Highlights of this year must be 34. The made-in-transit packaging and 50. The camera for the blind. Great examples of people thinking beyond limitations.

My favourite is Facebook for Spies. Who knew there were 13 intelligence agencies in the US?
